一剑荡平阴山的墓碑
一骑独行万里的骨灰
一场大雨淹没的功罪
西出阳关就没人再回
……
高晓松在《好风长吟》里的豪情放在今天这个景况也是一种错位的契合
everybody wants to rule the world
最后才发现，我们是如此不堪一击的脆弱
很多时候，不放弃是一种更为痛苦的姿态
你不放弃世界
世界才会不放弃你
什么都会来，什么都会离去
那条河流总会滚滚向前
但这人间需要有笃定不变的情怀
有时
它就是一首歌
延伸阅读：
1、Don’t Give Up是Peter Gabriel面对命运与家庭困顿时的个人心历作品，然而作品诞生以后就不仅属于作者自己了，它在全世界范围内被传唱至今，成了超越流行藩篱的经典，是史上最佳励志歌曲之一。
2、本来Don’t Give Up是一首独唱作品，为了增加感染力，Peter Gabriel邀请kate bush做了duet的处理，并修改了歌词。歌曲有两个mv版本，选最著名的以日食为背景的歌手拥抱版展示一下。
3、Peter Gabriel的前妻Jill Moore说这首歌是关于他们的故事，专辑发行一年后，双方离婚。
4、Don’t Give Up出现在很多电影和电视中，翻唱版无数，特别是巨星现场演绎的版本多到数花眼，光Peter Gabriel自己就和Paula Cole以及Tracy Chapman两位女歌手分别合作过现场版，其他牛叉闪闪的版本还有：乡村歌王Willie Nelson和光头Sinead O’ Connor的，R&B的天后人物Alicia Keys与U2乐队的灵魂人物Bono的，等等等等等等……这里给出当代爵士钢琴大师Herbie Hancock今年6月最新专辑《The Imagine Project》里的一个版本，同样也邀请了两位当红的男女角色Pink和John Legend来作人声演绎:
5、歌曲所在专辑《so》也是Peter Gabriel离开Genesis乐队后最具口碑的作品，排在滚石杂志的史上最佳500专辑的第187名。Peter Gabriel本身就是一个故事繁多的有趣传奇，这里篇幅有限，以后有机会再做展开。
Don’t Give Up
Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Don’t give up
cos you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not beaten yet
Don’t give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we’d be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up
We don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up
cause somewhere there’s a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It’s going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don’t give up
Please don’t give up
Got to walk out of here
I can’t take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That rivers flowing
That rivers flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don’t give up
cause you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not the only one
Don’t give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up now
We’re proud of who you are
Don’t give up
You know its never been easy
Don’t give up
cause I believe there’s a place
There’s a place where we belong
